I really liked that movie. I think the dragon looked really cool. I have to say that there was not any element of happiness in that movie. That is to bad but I liked everything else about the movie. -Jollygirl

The Desolation of Smaug is nice. They left out some key elements to the book, but it was fairly good. One thing I noticed was that it was always dark. I mean, there was no sun shine, or anything! Also, there were way too many battle scenes. And, no matter how good the special effects were, Smaug is not pronounced SMA-oug, it is pronounced like smog. Oh, and another thing. I liked the movie, but in the books, Smaug is a lot more clever. And cunning. And witty. And the same goes for Bilbo.
